Flashcards for boards: SketchyMicro & SketchyPharm Anki decks

These are complete SketchyMicro and SketchyPharm Anki decks that I made while I was studying for USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1! I found that Anki was the best way for me to memorize all of the SketchyMedical sketches. I still remember them all and use this knowledge in my clinical rotations. I’m telling you, Anki = long term memory.

About these decks

The cards in this deck contain small, cropped portions of the overall sketch – these force you to focus on all of the small details of each sketch.

You must download these decks to your computer, NOT to your phone. You must also have Anki installed on your computer. Once you download them your computer that has Anki installed, open them. They will open directly into your Anki app. Now that they are on your computer, you can sync your Anki account with your phone so that you can access them on the go.

Notes with the tag “*edited_by_nicolet.life” are cards for which I added my own memory hook. If you do not want to use these, feel free to delete them by sorting your cards by that specific tag, highlighting all the cards under that tag, and simply deleting them.

Text in grey font is supplemental information.Text in black font is the most important, high yield information.

You are very welcome!! Sketchy Path wasn’t out when I studied for Step 1, so I never used it since I learned pathology without it. Since I am done with Step 1 and Step 2, I won’t be going back to use Sketchy Path or Sketchy IM and I haven’t looked for any additional resources for them. Apologies, I wish I could help more! <3 Good luck with your studies!

Hi! I used your micro deck and i found it incredibly useful! Now that i am trying to download the pharm deck, it says the decks arent available anymore :/ Are you going to re-upload them? Thanks again!

Thank you so much for putting your work into these decks! It was recommended to me by another M2 and it has been fire in terms of retention. Using your decks with the printed Sketchy Medical Notes PDF for focused visual associations.
